The noodles and dipping sauce are freshly made daily in their basement workshop. One serving comes with two trays of noodles and a large kettle of chilled dipping sauce, with grated radish, wasabi, seaweed, and green onions on the table for self-seasoning. The broth is richer than Japanese soba, and the noodles have more chew. Most noodle dishes are around 12,000 KRW, and they also offer spicy mixed buckwheat noodles and bossam (boiled pork) set meals. Queues are common during the lunch rush, and you can register using Tabling.
